About

The idea behind this plugin is to create a fully responsive and well-optimized carousel. We’ve used modern CSS features like Scroll Snapping, which allows the carousel wrapper to lock onto specific slides or positions after the user finishes scrolling. This approach helps us minimize the library size by including only the essential parts, and it avoids heavy JavaScript computations or CSS hacks.

Examples/Stories

• 📕 Example

• 📺 Props/Events/Slots

• Lightweight – up to 5–10× smaller than other libraries

• No calculations or heavy logic – performance-first approach

• Fully responsive – most customization is handled via CSS (e.g. number of visible slides)

• ESM bundle with tree-shaking – dead code is automatically eliminated

• SSR support – works with frameworks like Nuxt.js 🎉 More here

• Vue 3 support 🎉 More here

• Modern browser support – compatible with all common browsers More here
